Spartacus87 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Ed Hardy and Affliction are two things I'll never wear. I'd agree with you on that. Tapout shirts are even worse. You guys wouldn't go out in public trying to emulate the look these awesome guys are pulling off?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IONTOP Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah I'll vouch for AE's durability... The jeans I have on right now are probably 4 or 5 years old... I have had problems with them ripping in a certain spot, but that's been every jean I've ever owned... But $50 for a pair of jeans that lasted me 4 years, I'll take it... Hell I've still got shirts from Sophomore year ('01) in my closet... My polos are probably from '03 and they still look pretty new... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipwhich Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hollister is a cheap, flashy version of Abercrombie and Fitch. Ruehl is also owned by the same parent company, and is a nicer version of A&F. Basically, Hollister is for high schoolers, A&F is for college-aged kids, and Ruehl is for those who still like the clothes but feel really old when they walk in to either of the other stores. LOL My middle school daughter wears them all..... Bottom line, it's clothing for kids. Not that there is anything wrong with that. :evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I had to rep Aero because I "worked" there for 3 years, such an easy job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I would consider A&F somewhat designer, and maybe Hollister. American Eagle is kinda a mid-level brand, something in between Old Navy and closer to Gap. Aeropostale and Old Navy are pretty much on the same level. Neither of them are worth buying from as their clothes do not have lasting value if worn regularly. Abercrombie, overpriced for a product that has gotten worse when it used to be much better. Don't know much about Hollister, but it caters to a specific crowd too. Either way, all these stores cater to high school/college kids who only care to dress for summer/beach environments. ALl things considered, AE offers a pretty good value. The clothes don't look too messed up and the prices are decent. Plus I always hear of how long their jeans last. I guess I've just outgrown those places, I don't even care for Gap much. Express, Banana Republic, Martin & Osa, J Crew, and even department stores are what interest me now, especially since they boast a good quality and have ridiculously cheap prices at times.

Spartacus87 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 sandals on men, even without socks, is epic fail What kind of sandals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan07 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Its not that they don't look right. Every black guy I know has this thing about "thong" flip flops. They think its gay or something. They are like "Its a THONG flip flop". Its just a cultural thing. They prefer tube socks and sandals :doh:IMO that is epic fail. I actually prefer neither lol. When I wear flip flops, I wear regular flip flops that have the strap over them, not thong flip flops. They just feel weird. And no I don't wear socks. I only wear flip flops to the beach or pool anyways, I never wear them out in public. I prefer my Sperry's. haha it's not a cultural thing at all. I see a lot of black folks with thong flip flops on, it's just not my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan07 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 lol I used to have that kind of adidas flip flop. They weren't adidas but they were similar. So comfy. Had em for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I dont consider any of those brands to be prep clothes. I will take a Polo, Lacoste, or CK shirt any day of the week compared to those brands, And for me, men dont wear sandals unless at the beach or pool. Men dont wear sweatpants period. Gym pants and running pants are fine but sweatpants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissU28 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 he meant these type of sandals those are totally fine. Even WITH socks, if you're coming from playing bball. I have a pair of those that I would wear after playing ball so I wouldn't wear my bball shoes out on the street. Better than hi tops...Better than timberlands... What do you want a man to wear in shorts? NOT sandals. Wear a nice pair of KSwiss or Diesel tennis shoes. Flip flops are fine, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissU28 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 My brother wears shoes like this with shorts and jeans: They're surfer shoes. He surfs. Low Air Force Ones are also nice. The all-white reebok classic looks good with shorts as well. Classic newbalances (574s) are good, too. Many different options. Don't wear sandals.

This is what I'm talking about.Those kinds of sandals, "thong" sandals I guess, are a good look. Boat shoes are fine as well, although I don't personally do that style.
